| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet with raised cheek guards; the neck is rendered with careful modelling in archaic Sicilian style. The portrait is set within a plain linear border that frames the flan. The die work is bold and competent, characteristic of late Sikeliot bronze coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Owl standing right on a plain groundline, wings closed and body rendered in compact, frontal feather detail typical of Athenian-influenced Sicilian coinage. The ethnic legend ΛIΠAPAIΩN is inscribed in two vertical columns flanking the bird — ΛIΠAP to the right and AIΩN to the left — in clear Greek majuscule letters. The composition fills the flan without a border. |

Lipara — modern Lipari, largest of the Aeolian Islands — had its autonomous bronze coinage effectively terminated following the Roman capture of the island in 252 BC during the First Punic War. This piece sits at or near that cutoff, making its precise status as a pre- or post-conquest issue a genuine open question among specialists in Sicilian numismatics.
